Things I learned while quarantined

I know. I said I would stop talking about it, but what's one more post? This one will be simple. A quick list about the few things I learned while stuck inside for two weeks. I don't own enough pajama pants for two weeks of pajamas and no laundryI do have enough underwear for two…

I took a break for a while, in case you hadn't noticed. I needed a moment to stop and figure out why I was doing this, what I was hoping to gain, what I was trying to portray or prove. I had another miscarriage a few weeks ago, and it felt like everything I was…

What I want for 2020

Time for new goals! I'm going to keep some goals that I really enjoyed from the previous year, and I'll also throw in some extras. Don't go more than two weeks without blogging I want to keep this blog up, and when I get busy, I forget to write. Hopefully this year I can continue…

Communicating Communication

I never fully realized how awful I was at communication until I left home for college. I met new people, I made friends of my choosing, I lived in the same room with another person, and I realized, I'm really good at not communicating. I'm a people-pleaser. I hate confrontation. You've heard it all before:…

All Things Fall

I love, love, love, love fall. And it's just around the corner (or so I keep telling myself on these outrageously hot days). It's my second favorite season (number one being winter, of course). I find it hard not to appreciate fall in a world that's "fall-crazy." No joking, I saw ads for pumpkin spice…

One Year Later

I started this blog one year ago today! On August 21, 2018, I posted my very first post on this blog. Since then, I've posted 109 times about many different things. There really isn't a rhyme or reason to what I post about, except on Wednesdays, when I post my Wordless Wednesday posts (today is…

My Harry Potter Challenge Update

One of my resolutions for 2019 was to read one chapter of the Harry Potter series each day. I'm the type who reads the entire series in a week (or less), so limiting how often, how much, and how many times I can read through the series has been a challenge, but a good one. I…

To Have and to Hold

On Tuesday, Miguel and I celebrated three years of marriage. In the grand scheme of things, that doesn't seem like a lot. We've lived a lot more life than that, and we will, Lord willing, live a lot more life. But upon further reflection three years is quite an accomplishment, I think. I made a…

Man, Wife, & God

Oops. It's been a month since I last posted... Summer sabbatical? I'm going to try really hard to keep writing over the summer, but thus far, I have failed. I just got back to my parents' house (where I'll be settling in until August) from a quick trip to Ohio to visit Miguel's family and a wedding.…

10 Things I’ve learned in 100 Blog Posts

This is blog post 100! How crazy is that? I started this in August 2018 hoping it would force me to write more frequently and challenge me to finding unique ways of sharing things and finding things to share. I think it's working, at least so far. I was originally going to write 100 things…
